Canon Xha1 and fcp to dvd…what am i missing
Greets fellow cows,
I am a new member to the Cow but have been reading for a couple months now and gained much info. Our church has 3 canon xh a1, a tricaster and an imac.. We want to make DVDs of the messages and weddings and such…Our tricaster had a problem and is coming home today from repair so we have been shooting 3 mini dv tapes and digitizing from the cameras into fcp via firewire. It seems that regaurdless of HDV or DV setting or how many hunderd steps we go through, our final DVDs all have a simular problem SO OBVIOUSLY we are missing something important or mabye extremely basic. We came from the GL2 and pc world haveing as good of results as can be expected..we were happy with that..
SO we have FCP 6.0.4 , OSX10.5.5 , imac 2.4ghz intel core duo, 4g ram, QT 7.5.5(249.13)(ver990.7) and the whole adobe sweet or toys..We have tried not just about every workflow posted on here and still have simular issues.
The main problem with the resulting DVD is this:
Blocky diagionals, wierd artifacts and blockyness around the collar area our subject, wierd blockyness and such around the eyes and cheak area which are most noticable whith movement.2 of us have been working on this for weeks and about to either kill each other or blow up all the video gear. Im headed out of town so Rick may be posting as well.
We still have the pc machines with pinnacle and would ultimately like to be able to with on mac and pc if possible, as well as bring in premixed fottage from the tricaster. SD dvds is the most common delivery with the ocassional need for just files to be able to play on the tricaster…I think we can work the latter out once we get the main blockyness resolved.
Any advice is welcome.
Many thanks for help on what is probably a newbie issue.
